2021 GRAND SLAM CHALLENGE RULES
GRAND SLAM CHALLENGE SCORING Your Grand Slam Challenge (GSC) score is a total of your best four (4) tournaments among the five (5) during the Grand Slam Challenge season. Players Championship, Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, The Open Championship Your tournament score for the GSC will be relative to the winning score. Example: The winning entry’s score is 1422, yours is 1429. You will receive -7 towards the GSC for being 7 strokes behind the winner. The winner of the tournament receives a zero (0) towards the GSC season standings. BELOW IS A PREVIOUS YEAR’S STANDINGS. RED IS THE DROPPED SCORE, YELLOW IS THE EVENT WINNERS.
Tie-breaker for each paying position will be your Grand Slam total including your fifth (excluded) tournament. Second tie-breaker for each paying position is your Grand Slam total including your sixth (excluded) golfers from all tournaments. INDIVIDUAL TOURNAMENT RULES The dashboard for golfer selection will open the Monday before each tournament. GOLFER SELECTION: Select one golfer from each of the six (6) tiers. Tiers are determined by the golfer’s Official World Ranking. Tier 1: Top 5 ranked golfers in the field. Tier 2: 6th-15th ranked golfers in the field. Tier 3: 16th-25th ranked golfers in the field. Tier 4: 26th-50th ranked golfers in the field. Tier 5: Rest of the field. Tier 6. Entire field. Your Tier 6 selection cannot duplicate the selection of another tier. There are no restrictions on an event to event basis. If you want to select the same golfer for all five tournaments, you may. SCORING: Each of your selected golfers' Grand Slam Challenge scores will be whatever they shot on the course. Golfers who miss the cut will receive the worst score of the day (among selected golfers), +1. Example: You selected Billy Horschel and he missed the cut. During Saturday’s round, Keegan Bradley shot a 76, the worst among all golfers who were selected in the contest. Billy would be scored at 77 for Saturday’s round. Golfers who withdraw will be scored under the same missed cut rule. Of your six (6) golfers, your worst score will be dropped for the tournament. Not your daily worst score, just the worst for the tournament. Just like on the course, the lowest score wins. Tie-breaker for each paying position is your total score including your sixth (worst/excluded) golfer. PRIZES Top performances in each tournament will receive prizes, as well as the overall Grand Slam. Prize Purse will be allocated as follows: 15% to each of the 5 tournaments (75%) 25% to the Grand Slam Challenge. The number of payout positions will be determined entirely by the number of entries in the contest. REGISTRATION $100 Entry Three (3) Entry Max Entry fee is due at time of registration.

SEASON DELAY, SUSPENSION, CANCELLATION Should the season be suspended or delayed, the 2021 Grand Slam Challenge will pause and resume when the season resumes. Should the golf season be discontinued, for any reason, with less than 4 of our 5 official events completed, the GSC will then be cancelled and all entries will be credited towards 2022 league dues. Participants will have the ability to submit a withdrawal request, however this will result in forfeiture of 2022 league participation. In the event a withdrawal request is submitted, your patience will be required. Vendor send limits will make this process very long and very tedious.
